Working along through June.

Been really damn busy!Waiting for the Tall Bike to come back from paint, as well as this bike for Dirtrag Magazine - a 650B, also at Spectrum.

It came out pretty damn nice.

Shiny!

And then on to Tims's 29er+ I have to build another one, and then these are going to be the last ones for a little while while this platform evolves a little bit. I'm not against it, but I want to see where it's going before I commit to any more. For now I'm going to stick to a maximum 29er tire of 2.4" as I make bikes for trails & dirt roads (pretty much) as that's what I'm going to stick to.

Here, checking it out.

Looking good.

Building lots of custom wheelsets as well.

Seat stays.

Making almost all of the parts for these out of straight aircraft 4130 from scratch.

Working with tubes, marking the bowing & fishmouthing.

Gus-Gus supervising office work.

How it's supposed to fit.

Tacked.

New dedicated 650B x 120mm fork! Just building one bike after another so I can get to yours.For more frequent updates as well as pictures of all kinds including tons of client pics check us out on Facebook - Coconino Cycles or Steve Garro. Lots going on over there.Thanks for reading!- Steve.

SO, WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT, THEN?

Hi! my name is Steve Garro, and this blog is an ongoing chronical of the process of building the finest handmade bicycles I can here at Coconino Cycles, located in beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona.

I'm a one man operation, doing all the design and fabrication in house with my own hands. we have been operating full time since feburary 2003, producing about 20-25 frames a year, as well as handbuilt wheelsets and complete bike builds. every bike is totally custom fit to the needs and measurements of each rider and built from scratch with hand selected tubesets from several premium manufactuers including True Temper, Dedacciai and Kaisei. I pride myself on perfect fit, ride quality, and durability to provide you with the best cycling experence I can. to know more details, check out my web page, http://www.coconinocycles.com/

Please note that as of 1/14 I had a roughly one amd a half year backlog on orders. I have since stopped taking deposits to catch up on work until January 2015

When looking through my blog, you will also see alot of details of my life and pictures of things I like to do and stuff that I think is cool, like handcycling, fishing, boating, friends and family, critters, landscape, and flowers, with some wierd stuff thrown in for good measure. enjoy, and thanks for stopping by - Steve
